Direct TV/AT&T Bundle package
I spent over an hour on the phone with a Direct TV salesman - ordering the bundle package - premier, etc. NO ONE told me that the phone and internet service was with someone other than Direct TV. I was told an amount I would pay and I asked three times was that the amount for all three and how long would that price be effective. I was told forever. At the end of the conversation I was told to call Direct TV Bundle to set up phone and internet installation. I had no idea I was talking with AT&T - their first question was - "How much are you paying for the phone and internet?" I told them I had no idea - that it was a bundle package - why would it matter - there was only one price given to me. After four days and many hours I found out that I would get a separate bill from AT&T and then a bill from Direct TV, but was assured that they would total the amount quoted to me. The next day, I was informed I had a new phone number - after being told I would be able to keep the phone number I have had over 20 years. After three more days and being on hold and cut off and told people would return my calls, etc. by AT&T my phone number was changed. I was not even home. I had delayed the installation for six days to try to work out the phone number, but they came anyway. I had just sent out over 50 invitaions with my old phone number as the RSVP - etc. - you can imagine the problems. I finally found someone at AT&T nice and knowledgeable and he is working on me getting my number back and assured me someone would call me back. IN the meantime, I still have not been able to get on my account with Direct TV to claim my rebates. Could this be because they do not want me to get them by my first bill???????????????????????????????? I have written five emails - been transferred 10 times back and forth and still cannot get to my account. They claim that they don't have me as an account and yet I am watching Direct TV now - already installed. And by the way, If I can get this worked out I can honestly say it is a million times better than Time Warner!!!1
